glove work
Catching and scooping
Glove work is the skill of fielding in baseball—how a player catches, scoops, and handles the ball with their glove.
A shortstop known for exceptional glove work makes difficult plays look routine.
The term emphasizes defensive technique over hitting: His bat is average, but his glove work is Gold Glove caliber.
